Jersey Shore Boat Sale & Expo 2026

Jersey Shore Boat Sale & Expo runs September 25–27, 2026 in Lakewood.

What it is

This is a consumer boat sale, open to the public, produced by the Marine Trades Association of New Jersey (MTA/NJ). MTA/NJ is a non-profit trade organization of marine businesses that promotes the recreational boating industry in New Jersey. The organizer calls it "a highlight of the fall boating season." Dealers bring boats of all types and sizes, including new 2027 models, and offer end-of-season deals.

A selection of pre-owned boats lines the main walkway, and a boater's marketplace sells gear, accessories and services. The whole show is set out in one stadium, and visitors can board boats to compare them.
